Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
Do you serve the food?

We can, given access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
How our film set catering works in South Town
There are options for crew who don’t eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. We are frequently asked to cater long days on set and commercials and music videos, with salads, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
Near South Town, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. Timings are planned around your shoot, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- A covered eating area
- A named contact at base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Our staff serve and clear

Step by step
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In December, daylight in South Town ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
How to prepare
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Let us know about tight access
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
